African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Act

This bill would establish a permanent museum and educational center at the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City. The legislation directs the National Park Service to acquire land near the existing historic site to construct a facility dedicated to the history and legacy of the enslaved and free Africans buried there.

For the public, this project would provide a centralized location for research, historical exhibits, and educational programs focused on the early history of African Americans in New York. To ensure the site is managed with community input, the bill also creates a federal advisory council to oversee the museum’s construction and long-term operations.
